Description
Chateau d’Esclans Rock Angel Rose 2022
Rock Angel is partially barrel fermented in large oak barrels and made from Grenache, Cinsault and Rolle (Vermentino). This ros bears a more complex and structured taste profile than Whispering Angel bringing it into a more premium realm giving ros lovers a bigger and richer wine that is fabulous as an aperitif or paired with a broad range of fine cuisine. If you like the minerality of a Sancerre, you will love this wine.
Critical Acclaim
93 James Suckling
A very pure and incisive nose, with refined mineral chalkiness to the fresh strawberry and grapefruit aromas. Again, pure is the word to describe the linear, dry palate, which delivers crisp yet textured acidity, together with elegant, freshly chopped raspberries and strawberries. A truly outstanding ros here!
91 Wine Enthusiast
The latest release of this wine in the range from Esclans is a ripe, full ros. It has the crispness but the red fruits are warm and rounded. That gives a fine ros that is definitely made for food and will be ready from 2023.
90 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Bottled just a week prior to my April visit, the 2022 Cotes de Provence Rose Rock Angel was still showing well. Scents of toasty oak and vanilla accent tangerine and peach on the nose, giving this medium-bodied ros an almost creamsicle-like aspect. Generous, silky and long, it might be even better later this year.
